Aunt Chen is back from the world of cultivation

Chen Qingzhu looked at his daughter's expression, pondered for a moment, and roughly understood what she was thinking.

I couldn't help but sigh deeply in my heart.

Revealing Rong Niang's identity would indeed bring her some trouble, but with her current abilities and power, she could handle it with ease.

But Rongniang grew up in the Jingnan Marquis Mansion. Following her biological mother of lowly status, she learned to be cautious and compromise at a young age.

Such a temperament and behavior style cannot be changed in a moment.

Indeed, she could indeed ignore Rongniang's wishes and forcibly announce her identity, allowing her to immediately enjoy the treatment and status of the young abbot in Cihang Temple.

But Rong Niang didn't care about this false reputation at all. Instead, she would be worried about it for quite some time.

Instead of doing this, it would be better to respect my daughter's thoughts and give her some time to gradually adapt to the new environment of Cihang Temple, and then announce her identity when she feels safe.

Thinking of this, Chen Qingzhu changed his mind and said to Huiyun:

"That's it for now."

Huiyun thought for a moment and said:

"I will keep the young lady's identity secret for the time being, and instruct everyone to treat her with courtesy."

"Just let them call me Miss Pei." Rong Niang added.

She felt that just calling her Miss would easily lead to outsiders making random guesses and associations.

Huiyun looked at Chen Qingzhu, and the two looked at each other.

The only difference between announcing it within Cihang Temple and not announcing it was actually a statement. The key point was whether Rong Niang's identity was concealed from the outside world.

"For now, let's do as Rong Niang said."

Huiyun understood:

"I obey my orders."

A relaxed smile immediately appeared on Rong Niang's face.

After Huiyun left, Rongniang urged Chen Qingzhu:

"Mother, just go and practice on your own, don't worry about me."

Chen Qingzhu pretended to sigh:

"Alas, Rong Niang doesn't miss her mother at all. She's impatient to be with me as soon as we meet."

Rong Niang hugged her quickly:

"No, no, Rong Niang is not impatient to stay with mother!"

Chen Qingzhu knew his daughter's good intentions, touched her hair and said:

"Then at least spend a day with mother today? Tomorrow we will each be busy with our own things."

Of course, Rong Niang wanted to be close to her mother, so she nodded and agreed without thinking.

So, next, Chen Qingzhu took her for a walk in the temple, introduced her to the situation in the temple, and told her that she could move freely in the East Garden.

There are often pilgrims in the several halls in the middle. You should pay attention to your words and actions, and be gentle and polite to others. No matter how high the status of the pilgrims is, you should treat them equally and calmly, without being afraid to please them.

As for Xiyuan, there are now some hard laborers living there. Those people are the ones who previously oppressed and persecuted these Kundao women. They are not good people. There is no need to sympathize with them, and you even have to be on guard when you come into contact with them.

Rong Niang wrote them all down.

Then Chen Qingzhu took her back to the room and gave her two bags of gold and silver ingots and copper coins:

"This is some pocket money for Rong Niang. Take it. When you have a day off in the temple, you can go to the city with the others to play and spend it."

Rongniang had never received so much pocket money until she was seven years old.

Even all the belongings she had saved before were not as much as this. She took out each gold and silver ingot and couldn't let go of them.

What's more, when he heard Chen Qingzhu say that they could go to the city to play, he became even more excited.

"I haven't been to Nandu City yet! Can you come with me, Mom? We can wear veils and go around quietly so that no one can recognize us!"

"Okay, then let's go together!" Chen Qingzhu said lovingly.

After the afternoon retreat, Huiyun gathered all the female Taoist priests and gave them the order to treat the new Miss Pei with courtesy.

Everyone immediately started talking.

In fact, after the time when Nanny Liu came to make trouble, everyone knew that there was a concubine in the Jingnan Marquis's Mansion who was practicing in Cihang Temple.

But as everyone got to know each other better, they didn't realize that any of them was that aunt.

A few days ago, Lord Jingnan and his wife knelt outside the temple and begged for three days and two nights. Everyone became more and more curious about who that concubine was.

However, no one admitted it yet.

In addition, Chen Qingzhu, the temple master, was the last to arrive, so many people have already speculated about the identity of the concubine.

Now, Sister Huiyun, the abbot's confidant, has personally instructed that Miss Pei, who was sent by the Jingnan Marquis's Mansion to practice Buddhism, should be treated with courtesy, which further confirms this point.

Huiyun let everyone discuss quietly for a while to digest the news, and then said seriously:

"You should have understood some things. Since the abbot has not ordered it to be publicized, if someone leaks something that shouldn't be disclosed, whether intentionally or unintentionally, as long as it causes trouble for Cihang Temple, the abbot and I will not tolerate it! Do you remember this?"

Under the joint instruction of Hui'an and Huiyun, all the female Taoists have long been disciplined and obey orders. Upon hearing this, they immediately responded loudly:

"Yes!"

Huiyun took in everyone's expressions and continued:

"I hope everyone remembers one thing. No matter who the temple master was in the past, he is now our protective umbrella that protects us from the wind and rain."

"If we anger the abbot and she abandons us in a rage...it's so hard for women to survive. I believe no one would want to go back to the hard times!"

Everyone recalled those dark days with a solemn heart, and promised to keep their mouths shut and never cause trouble for the temple master.

Since the safety of his nephew was at stake, Zhang Jinghong immediately began an intensive investigation as soon as he returned to the city.

First, he moved the group of people brought by the Zhang family, including Doctor Qian, from the Jingnan Marquis' Mansion to the ship on the pretext that they were about to set off and the servants of the Marquis' Mansion could start boarding the ship one after another.

After avoiding Zhang's eyes, he immediately arrested Doctor Qian for interrogation.

This person treated both Zhang and Pei Jin and was one of the most critical figures.

Doctor Qian is a doctor after all. When it comes to cunning, he cannot compare with Zhang Jinghong, an elite official.

Not long after, he was exposed after a series of deceptions by Zhang Jinghong. In addition, banknotes of 20,000 yuan from the Nandu branch of Hui Money House were found in his luggage. Even before he was tortured, he was scared to death and admitted that he had accepted the banknotes from Madam Zhang and lied about the cause of Young Master Pei's illness.

As for Zhang's pulse, Doctor Qian had never thought about whether she could have children. After recalling it, he said that apart from being a little weak, there was nothing abnormal and no signs of coldness in her body.

This proves that Zhang's body has really returned to normal.

If the case were to be tried in the government office, the evidence would certainly be insufficient. But in Zhang Jinghong's mind, this was enough to convict Zhang.

"Bitch! You've been hiding something evil this whole time!"

Zhang Jinghong couldn't help but grit his teeth.

He didn't know when Zhang regained her fertility, but it was definitely a fact that she harmed Pei Jin.

However, he was still undecided about how to retaliate and punish Zhang.

Only then did he realize what the temple master had said when he was angry. He felt that if it was really Zhang who poisoned Jin'er, he would make Zhang pay a heavy price.

Now that it has been truly confirmed, he is actually a little troubled.

The fifth cousin in the palace is deeply favored by the emperor. If she really gives birth to a prince this time, she will be even more precious in the future.

If he openly deals with her own sister, this fifth cousin will probably not let it go.

After all, Concubine Shu is about to give birth. If she really gives birth to a prince...even with the current status of the Zhang family, they cannot offend them easily.

The matter was of great importance, and he originally planned to return to the capital to discuss it with his parents and brothers before making a decision.

However, a major event happened in Nandu City the next day, which prompted him to make up his mind immediately.
